Situ Ming stood in front of the window, looking at the scene outside the door with a very ugly expression. Mrs. Situ stood beside him.
"Master, is this Liu Yuexi really leaving like this? I won't try again. I really don't understand the girl's thoughts." Mrs. Situ expressed tentative concern.
"Yes, we must seize the time to plant the barrier tree. People like us, who come from a bitter background and are all lumps of elm wood, will honestly seize the few pitiful opportunities we have in our hands to make a fortune.
They are not like those aristocratic children, who are suave, well-rounded, good at interpreting styles, understand women's thoughts, and are good at using small tricks to make people happy."
Hearing her husband's obviously sour words, Mrs. Situ knew that all her attempts to smear him had failed. Her husband liked you about the poor boy just now, so she changed the subject.
"The master's vision is not comparable to that of a womanly family like me. It's all my fault for not educating my daughter well. Xue Li's child does not work hard enough in her studies, but isn't that the case for girls at this age? She's just starting to fall in love, and she likes it
It is normal for a handsome young man to be elegant."
"Then Liu Yuexi is only four years older than Xue Li. Look at her. She has no family background and no resources. She relies on herself. Now she is a doctor who teaches ropes. Tell me, among those children of noble families who were born in a wealthy family, which one has
Such an outstanding lady, please tell me about it." Situ Ming still did not hide his preference for Yue Xi.
Mrs. Situ knew that Liu Yuexi could not do anything about it for the time being, and that her husband's idea could not be changed in a short time. She did not contradict him head-on, so she just gave in and said, "Then Liu Yuexi has such an opportunity, isn't it because of the master's support?"
After all, if I didn’t have the support and protection of the master, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been so successful.”
The madam's flattery paid off. Seeing that Situ Ming remained silent, Madam Situ continued: "I know the master doesn't like Master Lan, and I don't like him either, but Secretary-General Lan is the popular person in front of Mr. Jin Yu, the master's man."
If you want to get the governor's support for a big plan, Secretary-General Lan may be able to help. So you see, at least we shouldn't offend the Lan family in terms of face, and don't do anything to the limit. Isn't that right?
"
Situ Ming was speechless after hearing this. Madam knew that her words were effective.
"Our Xue Li is still young. Master, it doesn't matter if you just meet this Lan Yue. The two children are still young after all, and there is a lot of room for maneuver in many things. As for Liu Yuexi, although she has the enclave in hand,
But there are too many people who are jealous. After all, his foundation is a bit shallow. I might as well take a look and help him if he has any difficulties. If he is a grateful person, he must be thinking of the kindness of the master in his heart. If that Lan Yue is really like that then.
The master is talking about an embroidered pillow, our Xueli should have a way out, right?"
The lifelong event of his precious daughter was Situ Ming's weakness. Situ Ming finally nodded, and Madam took the opportunity to add a few more words.
"Sir, I heard that Liu Yuexi has a concubine with a low status in Feicui Town. After all, Liu Yuexi is young and doesn't necessarily know many rules. I need to hammer him out and don't let him get carried away.
Mind you, if he takes a lowly wife as his wife, even if Liu Yuexi becomes a successful person in the future, our Xueli will only be the mistress of the main wife and will never be a mistress for anyone."
"It's natural. Madam, don't worry. I'll do this for you."
I will find an opportunity to have a good talk with Yue Xi. As for Lan Yue, please Madam, please take the trouble to contact me. I really don’t want to meet such a person. He idles around all day. Looking at what happened this time, he will soon become Quan Wangjing.
He's a laughing stock. Seeing the bad news, he asked Xue Li to have as little contact with him as possible, and he was all led astray by him. At Xue Li's age, it's time to work hard. I meant to let her go to Oak Academy to study for a whole period.
"When it comes to her daughter's happiness, Situ Ming has actually compromised, but towards Lan Yue, Situ Ming's attitude is still firm. No matter how skillful Mrs. Situ is, she can't cover up the fact that Lan Yue is not living up to expectations. Of course, the Dolan family is currently in
Of course, Mrs. Situ would not say anything explicitly about something she wanted from the Lan family.
In the evening, in Xue Li's boudoir, two maids were dressing Xue Li. Apparently Xue Li was getting ready to go out. Mrs. Situ walked in. Xue Li turned around and shouted: "Mother, you are here." Mrs. Situ took the wooden comb from the maid's hand.
Then they combed their daughter's hair. Upon seeing this, the two maids bowed and left the room, leaving Sydney and her daughter behind so they could say some thoughtful words.
"My Sydney is getting more and more beautiful. Where is it going so late?" Mrs. Situ asked while combing her hair.
Xue Li replied: "Yeah, I'm going to see Lan Yue. He hasn't seen anyone else in the past few days. He seems to be in a low mood."
"Oh, my silly girl, he asked for it himself. He was used as a gun by others and was not in the limelight but also caused a lot of commotion. I thought he just had a young mentality, but now it seems that he is still a brainless person. Even his mother-in-law
I somewhat agree with your father. You are not allowed to go tonight. He is in the spotlight. If you go, won’t you make people laugh? Have you confirmed this matter? You must know that in Wangjing’s social circle, there are rumors about Liu Yuexi.
As good as it is, Lan Yue's character is so bad. You are a girl, so you must protect your reputation and don't go. You don't want to see Lan Yue recently. This is also your father's wish."
"Mom." Xue Li took her mother's hand and acted coquettishly.
Mrs. Situ was stubborn. She knew what her daughter was thinking, "Don't be impatient. I know you like this Young Master Lan, but your father dislikes him very much. When Liu Yuexi left today, I talked to your father, and my mother tried her best to
The solution is that your father is still determined not to see this Young Master Lan. Even if I move out Secretary Lan, it will be useless. You have to think more about your father's attitude. And I have also heard that this Young Master Lan has someone outside. At such a young age,
Just follow the example of people who keep outside rooms outside. How old are you, and you still dare to act like this? It’s very bad.”
"This is impossible. Lan Yue and I have sworn that he only likes me. How could he have another woman?" Xue Li was a little excited.
"My silly boy, now that you have grown up, there are some things that should be told to you and faced by you. Our aristocrats, the upper class circles in Wangjing, and the rich families all have groups of concubines.
Your father is so honest and upright, doesn't he also have a second aunt? Whether it is the empire or the current republic authorities, the blood circulation of high-level talents has always been a top priority. Even if the general law clearly stipulates that you can only marry one head wife, for those with abilities,
Isn’t it true that concubinage is still a much more relaxed concept? As long as the situation of mostly male capable people does not change, this will never change. So, my daughter, you have to work harder and learn more from Shara.
Female pioneer, my mother hopes that one day you can be like this." No matter how good Mrs. Situ is,
Machiavellianism, love and expectations for her daughter are indeed real.
"Well, Mom, I will work hard." Xue Li nodded.
"Okay, starting from tomorrow, you will go to Oak Academy to study as a boarder for one year."
"Mom, I'm not going."
"Why, you promised me just now, so I'm afraid of hardship. Acorn Academy has strict rules, so you just have to pay attention. As for Mr. Lan, you can meet him once a month. Anything more is meaningless. If he really treats you
Yes, you really should cheer up and work hard. Your father and I will take care of things for you two. That’s it. And if you can become a pioneer or a hunter like your father in the future, through law
But it is stipulated that the husbands of female capable persons are not allowed to take concubines at will. I really hope that you can be your own master in the future, okay?" Mrs. Situ said seriously.
"Okay, mother." Xue Li is a child after all, and she doesn't dare to disobey her mother.
Seeing that Xue Li agreed, Mrs. Situ frowned and asked again: "By the way, what did Liu Yuexi say to you this afternoon? She seemed quite disappointed."
"He." Xue Li told her mother the inexplicable words Yue Xi said to her, "Mom, do you think this Liu Yuexi is inexplicable?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Situ rarely laughed. She laughed for a long time. Xue Li was a little confused. Mrs. Situ sighed: "He is also an honest silly boy, but it seems that he does like you."
"I don't want it. It's so vulgar and incomprehensible."
"It's not interesting at all? I heard your father say that he has already had his first glimpse of the wreath. How old are you now, and he has an enclave in his hands. Not surprisingly, in a few years he will be the dictator of an enclave autonomous territory.
, Hongpao, you are Hongpao before you reach thirty years old. Even Lord Jin Yu’s direct descendants cannot expect to be promoted so quickly. Looking at the young talents in the entire province, they will definitely be ranked in the top ten."
Situ Xueli was a little surprised, "He is really so powerful."
"Yes, I heard that Master Fast promised to personally assist him in forming the wreath. This is definitely unusual."
"But." Xue Li still wanted to argue.
Mrs. Situ interrupted her daughter and said, "Okay, your father and I have discussed it. You should focus on your studies. As for these love affairs, we will talk about them later. Sydney, you just need to remember me."
You and your father are the ones who really want you to be happy. Go to bed early and I will send you to Oak Academy tomorrow morning."
On Liu Yuexi's side, the rune train to Jade Town was moving very fast. Yuexi did not sit in a comfortable box, but guarded the important barrier tree with the soldiers. There were only two barrier trees in the juvenile stage.
Meters tall, it is covered in a large glass cover, which is filled with a special synthetic gas. It is hard to imagine that after taking root in a special place, this small sprout can actually grow into a barrier tree hundreds of meters high.
The harsh environment of the enclave's dark matter protects human survival. However, currently, the barrier tree needs Yuexi's careful care to survive. The train soon arrived at Emerald Town, and well-trained soldiers carefully guarded the base of the barrier tree.
It was carried onto a large ox-drawn cart. Four iron-hoofed oxen pulled the cart and moved slowly. The boundary tree attracted countless residents of the town to watch. Everyone came to see what was new. The ox-cart was in front of Yuexi's new mansion.
